One month in Canada, and this is the only thing I've recently thought of



Someday I must really must learn how to make backgrounds someday Dx

Someone I watch from DA had his birthday several weeks ago, like the first week of July (?). I was still in Canada then, but when I came back, I felt like CGing something xD I did one of his original characters, but gave her an original costume, since she only wore "random" clothing.

The nose is a bit misplaced, and the hair looks horrible, but that's nothing new. Personally, I don't think I have very good color coordination, but I'd rather happy how most of the coloring came out.

I tried all sorts of things for the background, but I liked it best with just a sky. The stone "railings" at the bottom turned out a little better than I expected, but a little worse too.

I could spend all day saying all sorts of critique, but I think I'd better stop here

Leave your comments if you will, thorough and advanced critique/critisism is highly appreciated

your linework does need work, maybe more organic linework, around the chin especially.
The arms should be casting a shadow over the rail(?), although I do like the outfit and color choices,

and your hair doesn't look terrible!

Infact, I'd like to know how you got it to look 'real' instead of a blob of color, like I do.
any tips would be appreciated.

My only only problem with this person is that her face, because of the way it is drawn the jawline and the nose: makes it feel like her face is being pushed inside. LIke a concave surface. .. In fact I think most of her entire body feels a bit that way. It also has something to do with how you have placed the shadow and highlight on her body. She just seem flat, and concave. ._.

The colour choice is nice. And the sky and the stone fence thingy looks quite good. :>

Just a few things:

1.) The face sort of indents. Navci very appropriately called it "concave", which I think is what it is. The chin and the curvature of the bridge of the nose is what's causing this.
2.) She looks rather void of dimension around the chest area. In other words, where are her boobs
3.) Umm...NO. The hair is one of my favorite parts! As are the eyes The different gradients on the stone railing are very well done, and I think the sky goes really good w/ the pic, like you said. At first glance I was reminded of Stonehenge The sky and the architecture on the rail are familiar aspects of the monument.

I remember you did EJ's character a while back, and I instantly recognized your style. If an artist can develop a particular style and then have people remember it, that's good. Keep up what you're doing...and remember, practice makes perfect!
